Abstract:Objective: Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose contributes to liver damage through modulation of pro-apoptotic processing. This study evaluated the involvement of caspase/Bax factors in APAP hepatotoxicity in vivo and in vitro.
Methods: The involvement of caspase/Bax factors in APAP hepatotoxicity was evaluated in BALB/c mice and on isolated primary mouse hepatocytes. In vitro MTT assay was carried out on primary cultured mouse hepatocytes treated with APAP (2.5, 5, 10 mmol) and Annexin V/PI staining was emplo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
